re: Is Sankey sunk?

I don’t necessarily disagree, I understand what he’s doing. I think if everyone guaranteed this is the only off case this would happen with, and after this year if you declare for the draft whether bc of eligibility or early bc of draft stock your college career is over for good, I wouldn’t have an issue. I just fear it’s gonna get worse before better

Original question. I don't think this issue sinks Sankey. If he can negotiate a crappy TV contract, and make it, then this policy does nothing.

Now the issue at hand. Some of the 2022 class got screwed by the NCAA. And I get their issue.

However, if this goes to appeal, the SEC policy will remain intact. The NCAA will lose this one. NCAA arbritarilly made eligibility decisions. That will be its downfall in adjuticating this case. I predict the NCAA will be compensating these 2022 players.

They won't be playing in the SEC. My predictions of course.

The conferences put in some loopholes and twists and turns in this one. It'll be interesting to see if the courts can do their usual get-around.

I suspect that in the meantime, all these rebels without a cause, taking advantage of a sport without a guardrail, will be more than happy to keep blowing their whistle while college football burns down around them.

awe, you poor thing. I'll send you some Vagisil to rub on your chaffed vagina!

t would have been great if Congress hadn't opened this can of worms to start with. They can also close it with an antitrust exemption. That solves the entire legal process. Not to mention, it will ultimately be the only way college football survives and sustains itself.

I disagree, but this point is starting to wander a bit off-topic. That said, if college sports can't operate within the confines of the current laws of this land, especially the rather fundamental commerce, anti-trust, and labor laws they are trying to worm from under, then college sports should just go away.

In my opinion, all of those laws as they are written, and the Constitution that backs them up, are just fine. They only need following and adhering to, and college sports can thrive. No exemptions needed.

But I don't mind if Sankey is the one that goes away anyway.

Damn, the NCAA has to be kicking themselves for adopting 5 for 5 in June after the draft and before the season. As someone said, why not just give a blanket waiver to the 2022 class?

The NCAA outkicked it’s coverage and has been doing so for years. To me, they’re like a corporation that started out as a mom and pop but is now owned by a venture capitalist firm that’s too big and out of tough to know what it’s doing. They all thought they had more power than they do, and instead of wielding it wisely, they then made some terrible decisions. After NIL, it should be obvious to them that they have to lobby the courts, they have to talk to judges and work the angles better than this.

Essentially they made themselves obsolete. And instead of battling back from there, they just keep doubling down. It’s fascinating. They could work in their boundaries but they just keep swinging wildly outside of them. They’re committing a slow suicide by 1000 self-inflicted cuts.
